    The radical left highly approved of forcing local school districts to build extra restrooms for confused kids that didnt know if they were a boy or a girl. Obama was going to WITHHOLD funds from local school districts that didnt comply with his unconstitutional order.

    Yet -------------------------- the radical left has a big problem with Trump witholding funds from sanctuary cities that wont obey Fed immigration law.


    So----------if Obama and the radical left thot it was ok to withhold money from local school districts, why is it not ok for Trump to withhold money from sanctuary cities, and maybe whole states? Trumps position has the rule of law with him, and Obama did not!!!!!

    Yeah, they hate it when their inconsistent principles are highlighted.

    But I have one correction for your post; you call them the "radical" left. Actually, the reason I call them liberals/progressives/socialists is because they have all virtually adopted the standards of what we used to call the radical left. Today, it's far more accurate to simply call them "Democrats."

    Listen Obama with his pal Rahm are both said to be closet homosexuals. C'mon, would any hetero guy promote such a homosexual loving agenda or bath the Whitehouse in the flag of the homosexuals?

    Dem's only support punishing their enemies, American's who comprise their opposition or even those with different points of view.
    Here's another example of just how far off the track the left has become. Read a news release put out by the UW Tacoma Writing Center declaring “there is no inherent ‘standard’ of English”. Now, a normal person would ask, WTF!!!? But, the enclave of brilliant scholars at the University Writing Center concluded as the statement urges, “there is no inherent ‘standard’ of English,” and with this in mind, the Center aims to ensure that through compassion and careful consideration, staff do not inadvertently embrace racist practices.

    In short, they've concluded every word written & how they are written, in English, are subject to scrutiny "just in case", intentional or not, those words "could" harbor racism. Let that soak in for minute. In essence, these so called teachers, have thrown standards for our English language under the bus and essentially declaring themselves "racism proofreaders" all in one swoop. Why? Because it establishes THEM as judge & journey in deciding who's writing is racist & who's isn't. It's the ultimate form of speech police disguised as some great leap forward in "understanding racism". But, in the end, the left will use that lie to degrade/trash literature (and free speech) they ideologically disagree with and if you oppose their judgement, BOOM, you'll be shamed/punished by these folks as a racist, too. It's how they roll and have for years.

    Two of the three reasons I am not commenting directly to your so called thread because I do not consider myself the left much less radical and I did not agree with the BO administration's guidelines on bathroom use for schools. The main reason is that your great fails miserably to frame the issue and it does not include any intellectual basis to warrant debate since you appear to just whine and speaking of bathrooms throw the proverbial crap at those who who like to call "radical left".

    Go back and state an adult level argumentvand maybe you can have an honest debate. It us up to you.

    Both are necessary. The effort to defund sanctuary cities could be going toward creating provisions to make sanctuary cities more legal. Your concerns are quite frivolous, I'm sorry but they just are. And to try pinning your frivolous concerns on "radical leftists," says more about yourself than it does about the "radical leftists" you're trying to convict.

    What is totally unjustified is spending billions more on a wall on the Mexican border.

    There has been no justification of that for a very good reason - a valid justification for that just does not exist.


    Beyond that, you need to figure out what the word "radical" means.

    You can't pitch sanctuary cities as being "radical".

    - there are too many major cities to suggest that.

    - the cities are in red states and blue states.

    - they are consistent with our last presidential administration, which was the first administration in recent history to keep the number of undocumented residents from rising.

    I don't know any members of the "radical left".

    But, they can't be any worse that the White Supremacists/KKK/Neo-Nazis that define Trump's base.

    Maybe so many homosexuals over the years have chosen to stay in the closet because The Good Book (well, actually more accurately "The Hateful Book") says to kill them in multiple places in said book. If that book said to love gays equally, then this problem would not really exist. I blame Jesus/Mohammad/Moses for their hatred of innocent people. People usually have to LEARN hatred....those 3 were good teachers. Jesus has had 2000 years to say "ok look, the Bible got it wrong, dead wrong - instead, treat gays equally, they are just as good as you are." But, alas, Jesus is consumed with hatred.

    - - - Updated - - -

    Today pretty much ALL left-wingers are radical.

    Yes, actually it is indeed important to "promote a homosexual loving agenda" to make up for the homosexual HATING agenda of the #1 book for most Americans - the Bible! If their invisible friend in the sky ("god") was actually loving, he'd of course apologize for not condemning the hateful Bible all these years.

    Incorrect.

    Funds would have been withheld under title IX, which it never got to. The Obama administration never threatened to withhold funds from local school districts. That was an interpretation of rule affecting universities.

    I don't think they're hypocrites. They're (we're) just really rather dumb, and very easily led. We have no idea what world we're trying to create .. we only know what we don't like. Very similar to toddlers, in fact.

    I do. And as it happens, they're worse than your examples. Worse because they're dishonest. They're as religiously ideological, but without the honesty. That's a BAD recipe.

    OTOH, actual white supremacists are open and honest about their racism. You don't need to wonder ... they'll tell you straight up.

    You gotta be joking.Obama only acted like a spoiled brat and denied all kinds of
    stuff during The Sequestration in Spring of 2012.That is when Obama,willfully
    stopped White House Tours and had metal barriers erected to deny access to
    Senior Veterans of WWII and from getting too close to their New World War II
    memorial.
    Obama is w/o question THE Most spiteful President in the Annals of American
    Presidents.If his IRS is any indication.If his treatment and calling the
    Tea party as " **********s ".

    I'd have to disagree, but I thank you for your response.

    Rounding up your political opponents is something liberals/progressives/socilaists do, as history has shown. And it is certainly something I'd expect them to do if they ever obtain the power of the state again.

    I'd rather have existing laws applied so when these leftists block traffic, attack cops and burn stuff down they be sent to prison for maximum terms.

    So, just wondering.

    If students are forced to use the bathroom assigned to the gender they are born with, are you OK with a female who has
    received hormones and surgery to become a male being forced to use the same restroom that your daughter uses? Cause THAT is what happens under the Trump plan.

    The Trump plan is to leave it up to the states who have been handling this for years. I'm in a deep red part of the country, but our schools have TG kids and have developed accomodations for them without an over-reaching Uncle Sam commanding it. All this does is take the power from the feds and give it back to the states.

    Which is precisely what our Founding Fathers anticipated and made room
    for.They were very concerned about an ever-encroaching and powerful
    Federal Government.What Obama pulled.

    Everybody in America wants there to be fewer abortions. So, don't give me that "pro abortion" nonsense.

    The issue is that the GOP insists on using laws against women as their approach.

    If the GOP got off of that, we could work together to reduce the number of abortions.

    I think the true frivolous concerns is the leftists crying about the plight of gender-confused kids and then subsequently demanding that we make special accommodations for them.

    I would LOVE for this to happen.
    I am an Asian Canadian so not any of those and yet I am a supporter of Trump. Face it. Liberals/leftists/progressives are hated everywhere in the world.
